• the inclusion of tobacco products purchases in rewards and shopper loyalty schemes; and
• the mobile selling of tobacco products.
Other forms of retail display bans vary across Australian jurisdictions.
In the Australian Capital Territory tobacco products can’t be sold by vending machine and can’t be included in customer reward schemes, promotions, sponsorships or product give aways. These measures are designed to reduce access to tobacco products, including by children, and minimise the harms associated with tobacco use. From 1 July 2016 the Australian Capital Territory restricted the sale, promotion and use of electronic cigarettes in the same way as tobacco. It is will be illegal to sell electronic cigarettes to people under the age of 18 and to use electronic cigarettes in legislated smoke-free areas (enclosed public places, outdoor eating or drinking areas, underage functions, in cars where children under the age of 16 are present, in declared smoke-free public places and at declared smoke-free events). Restrictions also apply to electronic cigarette advertising, displays and marketing.
Also as reported in our previous periodic Reports, Australia also has tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship bans at the national level.

Other forms of retail display bans vary across Australian jurisdictions.
For example, in Victoria, tobacco advertising at a retail outlet point of sale is banned. An exemption exists for certified specialist tobacconists. From 1 April 2014, a person is no longer able to apply to have their business certified specialist tobacconists. As of 1 April 2014 the display of a tobacco advertisement for direct or indirect pecuniary benefit in a theatre, public place or on the outside of any road, sea or air vehicle or vessel, distributing leaflets or other documents to the public that are tobacco advertisements, the selling of films or videos that contains a tobacco advertisement; sponsored events which include the promotion of tobacco products or the interest of a tobacco manufacturer or distributor are all banned.
In the ACT tobacco products cant be sold by vending machine and cant be included in customer reward schemes, promotions, sponsorships or product give aways. These measures are designed to reduce access to tobacco products, including by children, and minimise the harms associated with tobacco use. Further from 1 July 2016 new legislation will take effect in the ACT that restricts the sale, promotion and use of electronic cigarettes in much the same way as tobacco. From 1 July, it will be illegal to sell electronic cigarettes to people under the age of 18 and to use electronic cigarettes in legislated smoke-free areas (enclosed public places, outdoor eating or drinking areas, underage functions, and in cars where children under the age of 16 are present). Restrictions will also apply to electronic cigarette advertising, displays and marketing.

1.依据中国《广告法》相关规定，在中国境内广泛禁止烟草广告。2018年到2019年，全国市场监管部门共查处违法烟草广告案件53件，罚款437.8万元。市场监督管理总局和国家烟草专卖局2019年联合发布了《关于进一步保护未成年人免受电子烟侵害的通告》，敦促电子烟生产、销售企业或个人撤回通过互联网发布的电子烟广告。
2.国家广播电视总局指导广播电视制作机构认真贯彻有关规定，严格控制电视剧中吸烟镜头，做到电视剧中不出现烟草的品牌标识和相关内容，及变相的烟草广告；不出现在国家明令禁止吸烟及标识禁止吸烟的场所吸烟的镜头；不表现未成年人买烟、吸烟等将烟草与未成年人相联系的情节，不出现有未成年人在场的吸烟镜头。严格控制以“艺术需要”、“个性化表达”为名出现的吸烟镜头，尽量用其他形式代替以吸烟表现人物心理、现场氛围的情节；对确因剧情需要出现的吸烟镜头，尽可能缩减吸烟镜头的时长和频率。2019年出台《未成年人节目管理规定》（国家广播电视总局第3号令），明确规定“未成年人节目不得含有表现吸烟、售烟内容”，对广播电视和网络视听涉未成年人节目内容作出严格规定。
3.中国控烟协会每年开展热播国产影视剧烟草镜头监测，通过对热播的30部电影和30部电视剧进行烟草镜头监测，形成监测报告并召开新闻发布会，旨在倡导影视界承担社会责任，拍摄无烟影视作品，做社会先进文化和移风易俗的引领者；通过媒体及时传播，引起了社会广泛反响。连续十年监测数据分析显示，有烟草镜头影视剧作品数量、烟草镜头个数、时长均明显下降。 |
1.2016年以来依据中国《广告法》相关规定在中国境内广泛禁止烟草广告。2016年7月，工商总局公布了《互联网广告管理暂行办法》，明确规定不得利用互联网发布烟草广告，为全面规范我国互联网广告市场秩序、防止烟草广告通过互联网传播提供了有力的法律支撑。2016、2017年全国工商和市场监管部门共查处烟草广告违法案件54件，罚没款约443.5万元。
2. 2016年，国家卫生计生委委托中国控烟协会在11个城市开展烟草广告调查活动。调查结果显示，除烟草销售点外，公共场所、户外的烟草广告明显好转。
另外，国家卫生计生委委托中国控烟协会连续9年开展热播国产影视剧烟草镜头监测，旨在倡导影视界承担社会责任，拍摄无烟影视作品，做社会先进文化和移风易俗的引领者。监测结果显示，有烟草镜头影视剧作品数量、烟草镜头个数、时长均明显下降。
3.2016年9月1日，《慈善法》正式施行。其中第四十条第二款涉及烟草捐赠赞助的内容为：“任何组织和个人不得利用慈善捐赠违反法律规定宣传烟草制品，不得利用慈善捐赠以任何方式宣传法律禁止宣传的产品和事项。” |
2015年4月，修订后的《广告法》正式颁布，同年9月开始实施，在大众传播媒介、公共场所、公共交通工具、户外等发布烟草广告，广泛禁止了烟草广告发布。同时禁止向未成年人发送任何形式的烟草广告。 |

Los progresos más relevantes respecto de la aplicación de los contenidos del artículo 13 del CMCT, están relacionados con la entrada en vigencia de la prohibición total de publicidad, promoción y patrocinio de productos de tabaco y sus derivados el 21 de julio de 2011.
A partir de la plena vigencia de esta prohibición establecida en el artículo 16 de la Ley 1335 de 2009, Colombia ha ido progresivamente implementando medidas que eliminen todo tipo de publicidad directa o indirecta (TV, radio, prensa, entre otras).
De esta forma, la utilización de dicha medida en la no aprobación de ciertas referencias de cigarrillos presentadas al proceso de evaluación de etiquetado y empaquetado de productos de tabaco, representa la coherencia y armonía de la legislación al retirar del mercado referencia que dentro de su diseño gráfico, marcas, lemas y/o signos figurativos entre otros induzcan percepciones erróneas sobre el consumo de tabaco, en especial respecto de públicos tales como niños y jóvenes.
Se reitera que un ejemplo evidente de esta prohibición es que en 2010, antes de la entrada en vigencia de la medida, la copa profesional de futbol colombiano, antes Copa Mustang, renovó su patrocinio, y ahora se denomina Liga Postobón, patrocinio proveniente de una marca de gaseosas.
En lo que se refiere a las competencias de vigilancia y control, la Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio es el organismo responsable del cumplimiento de la aplicación de la prohibición total de publicidad, promoción y patrocinio de productos de tabaco. Es por esto que mediante las circulares No. 5 y 11 de 2012 (del 27 de enero y 23 de marzo de 2012, respectivamente), esta institución impartió instrucciones en relación con la exhibición de los productos de tabaco en los establecimientos de comercio. Con estos instrumentos, la SIC verifica que estos productos no sean de fácil acceso al consumidor, es decir que está prohibido el “autoservicio”. Igualmente, la exhibición de pacas, cajetillas y cartones de cigarrillos y, en general, todos los empaques de tabaco y sus derivados debe hacerse de tal manera que la totalidad de la cara principal y las advertencias sanitarias del empaque sean visibles permanentemente, que la exhibición del producto en el mostrador se realice en hileras uno detrás del otro, según su referencia de marca, sin que se perciban dos referencias de marcas repetidas por producto a la vista (por referencia de marca debe entenderse las presentaciones de 10 y 20 unidades). Se encuentra prohibida la exhibición de cajetillas de cigarrillos y empaques de tabaco o sus derivados en vitrinas exteriores de los establecimientos de comercio. Cualquier repetición de exhibición de referencias de marca en el mismo establecimiento de comercio, se entenderá como promoción.
En al año 2016 se dio inicio a un litigio promovido por organizaciones de la sociedad civil en contra de los contenidos de las precitadas circulares, teniendo en cuenta que regulan la exhibición en el punto de venta, que a juicio de las actoras va en contra de la prohibición total de toda forma de publicidad, promoción y patrocinio de productos de tabaco y sus derivados.

De esta forma, la utilización de dicha medida en la no aprobación de ciertas referencias de cigarrillos presentadas al proceso de evaluación de etiquetado y empaquetado de productos de tabaco, representa la coherencia y armonía de la legislación al retirar del mercado referencia que dentro de su diseño gráfico, marcas, lemas y/o signos figurativos entre otros induzcan percepciones erróneas sobre el consumo de tabaco, en especial respecto de públicos tales como niños y jóvenes.
Se reitera que un ejemplo evidente de esta prohibición es que en 2010, antes de la entrada en vigencia de la medida, la copa profesional de futbol colombiano, antes Copa Mustang, renovó su patrocinio, y ahora se denomina Liga Postobón, patrocinio proveniente de una marca de gaseosas.
En lo que se refiere a las competencias de vigilancia y control, la Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio es el organismo responsable del cumplimiento de la aplicación de la prohibición total de publicidad, promoción y patrocinio de productos de tabaco. Es por esto que mediante las circulares No. 5 y 11 de 2012 (del 27 de enero y 23 de marzo de 2012, respectivamente), esta institución impartió instrucciones en relación con la exhibición de los productos de tabaco en los establecimientos de comercio. Con estos instrumentos, la SIC verifica que estos productos no sean de fácil acceso al consumidor, es decir que está prohibido el “autoservicio”. Igualmente, la exhibición de pacas, cajetillas y cartones de cigarrillos y, en general, todos los empaques de tabaco y sus derivados debe hacerse de tal manera que la totalidad de la cara principal y las advertencias sanitarias del empaque sean visibles permanentemente, que la exhibición del producto en el mostrador se realice en hileras uno detrás del otro, según su referencia de marca, sin que se perciban dos referencias de marcas repetidas por producto a la vista (por referencia de marca debe entenderse las presentaciones de 10 y 20 unidades). Se encuentra prohibida la exhibición de cajetillas de cigarrillos y empaques de tabaco o sus derivados en vitrinas exteriores de los establecimientos de comercio. Cualquier repetición de exhibición de referencias de marca en el mismo establecimiento de comercio, se entenderá como promoción.
A la fecha se han venido adelantado investigaciones respecto de la prohibición total de cualquier tipo de publicidad, promoción y patrocinio, como la publicidad en internet.
with the total ban on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, constantly, the Ministry of Health apply this measure in the comprehensive evaluation of the packaging and labeling of tobacco products. The surveillance and control of the other issues related to this measure, are in charge of Superintendencia de industria y comercio.

Legislative process of transposition of Directive (EU) 2018/1808 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2010/13 / EU on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the provision of audiovisual media service measures (Audiovisual Media Services Directive) in view of the changing market reality in the Czech legal order started. This Directive also includes ban of all forms of commercial communications for tobacco products and electronic cigarettes in the framework of video sharing platform services.
Based on Biennial Collaborative Agreement 2018-19 between the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic, two publications WHO regarding tobacco advertisement has been preparing in 2019 by multidisciplinary team of addiction treatment specialists and marketing experts from the Centre for Tobacco Use Prevention and Research of the 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University:
1) Regulation of Tobacco Advertising, Promotion and Sponsorship in the Czech Republic: A policy Brief
2) Regulation of Tobacco Advertising, Promotion and Sponsorship in the Czech Republic: A background paper for the policy brief
Both documents will be finally published online in 2020.
The Policy brief document was introduced at the National Conference on Alcohol and Tobacco in the Czech Republic 2019.

2017: The Czech Republic has adopted new rules regarding the advertisement on electronic cigarettes. In 2016, the Act No. 40/1995 Coll., on the Regulation of Advertising was amended by the Act No. 180/2016 Coll., which implemented the Directive 2014/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco and related products and repealing Directive 2001/37/EC. The purpose of this Directive is to eliminate differences between the Member States laws, regulations and administrative provisions on the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco and related products which present obstacles to the smooth functioning of the internal market, including electronic cigarettes and refill containers for electronic cigarettes, and to ensure high level of health protection. Due to this Direction, section 3a), strongly restricting the advertising, promotion and sponsorship on electronic cigarettes and refill containers for electronic cigarettes, was added to the Act No. 40/1995 Coll. |
The Act No. 40/1995 Coll. related to regulation of advertising is the main source of law regulating tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship restrictions. It implements legislation of the EU Tobacco Advertising Directive (2003/33/EC). It provides a general ban on tobacco advertising but permits some forms such as advertising at points of sale. In addition, Act No. 132/2010 Coll. Audio-visual Media Services On-demand, adopted in 2010, provides a ban on product placement of tobacco products.
The Czech Republic has not adopted any legislation or other measures regarding the regulation of tobacco advertisement in the past 2 years.

According to Article 11 of the National Tobacco Control Law, there is a ban on all forms of direct and indirect tobacco advertisement, sales promotion and sponsorship.
Since 2013 July, a regular monitoring and reporting mechanism was established among Township, State/Regional and Central level regarding the TAPS. There were local actions by local tobacco control teams such as educating the shops’ owners on dangers of tobacco use and awareness raising on national regulations on TAPS, removing the advertisements found and warning not to accept the direct and indirect advertisements and promotion from tobacco companies. But, there was no direct action on tobacco industries for violating the law yet in Myanmar. |

Under Article 13 of FCTC, Pakistan is mandated to put comprehensive ban on Tobacco Advertising, Promotion and Sponsorship (TAPS). Current legislation imposes restrictions on TAPS. In order to impose comprehensive ban on TAPS, step-wise approach is being followed. Using this approach, Tobacco Control Cell banned tobacco and tobacco products advertisements in print, electronic and outdoor media. This legislation was challenged in Sindh High Court by M/s Philip Morris, Pakistan, but they had to withdraw the petition against the arguments of the Ministry.
Ban has been imposed on free goods, cash rebates, free samples, discount or goods below the market value offered for the purpose of advertisement of tobacco or tobacco products. Moreover, ban has been imposed on manufacturing or offering for sale sweets, snacks and toys in the form of cigarettes that may appeal to any person under the age of eighteen. The focus of these measures are to deter youth from taking up smoking.
Despite these restrictions on TAPS, some promotional activities at Point of Sale (PoS) are going on. Recently, the CTAG has been re-constituted on 26th September 2018 with a mandate to take necessary steps and incorporate representation of provincial governments to make tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship (TAPS) guidelines compliant with the obligations under Article 13 of the FCTC.
To fulfill obligations under Article 13 of FCTC, Pakistan will have to put ban on point of sale advertisements of tobacco products, internet/online sale of tobacco products, brand sharing, smoking scenes in electronic media / product placement, SMS / direct targeting of customers, promotions of products like E-cigarettes, promotional schemes /incentives for retailers and sponsorships under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Therefore in order to make recommendations for bridging the gaps between FCTC obligations and Pakistan law, and deterring youth from exposing to tobacco products advertisements at Point of Sale, The Committee on Tobacco Advertising Guidelines (CATG), which was established as required by the national tobacco control law, has been instrumental in the passage of the SRO on POS ban. A critical step was the oust of the tobacco industry observer from the committee in 2018. Provinces as well as health specialists including BI partners were subsequently introduced into the committee as members.
in 2018 a meeting of CTAG was held on 12th February 2019 which after deliberation proposed recommendations. The meeting initiated the POS ban process and the MOH Tobacco Control Cell was commissioned to draft the SRO, which was later approved by the sub-committee of CTAG, vetted by the Ministry of Law, and adopted by the cabinet in January 2020.
Summary of SRO (I)/2019 of January 30, 2020
The new SRO that came into force in January 2020 closes a number of gaps in the Pakistani law on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship. In particular, it addresses the following issues:
· Point of sale advertising – the previous SRO (2013) was unclear on PoS advertising. This new SRO is clear that no advertising can take place anywhere at points of sale.
· Point of sale product displays – a new provision prohibits the display and visibility of tobacco products including for mobile kiosks and street vendors.
· Direct targeting of individuals including through telephone, mail or email.
· Retailer incentive programs.
There remain some types of advertising that the law still does not cover, or is unclear on. These include internet advertising and internet sales; sales from vending machines; some forms of brand stretching; sponsorship by tobacco companies where there is no direct product marketing; and corporate social responsibility programs.

A notable achievement was the ban of point of sales (POS). The law states “No person shall advertise or otherwise promote any tobacco brand, manufacturer or seller by any means, directly or indirectly that is intended to have or is likely to have the direct or indirect effect of promoting the purchase or use of tobacco or a tobacco brand, or of promoting a tobacco manufacturer or seller. Ads and promotions include words, messages, mottos, slogans, letters, numbers, pictures, images, graphics, sounds or any other auditory, visual, or sensory matter, in whole or part that are commonly identified or associated with a tobacco brand, manufacturer or seller. This prohibition includes a total ban on any display and on the visibility of tobacco products at points of sales (POS) but does not include the broadcast of television programming generated from outside Palau. Brand-stretching is prohibited. Tobacco sponsorship are prohibited. Sweepstakes, contests, rebates are prohibited. Cigarettes cannot be sold as single sticks; no person shall manufacture or distribute any product designed for or likely to appeal to children that evokes an association with a tobacco product, including but not limited to, candy or gum cigarettes or other sweets or snacks in the form of tobacco products. |

El Ministerio de Salud y la Comisión Nacional de Control de Tabaco continúan con la vigilancia y control de la PPPPT, en puntos de venta, medios de comunicación, internet, redes sociales, plataformas móviles de mensajería, videojuegos. Estas acciones se realizan en los tres niveles de la organización local, regional y nacional, pero debido al ámbito de actuación de este tipo de práctica publicitaria, el nivel central del MINSA es el ente que asume la aplicación de sanciones.
La Comisión ha estado realizando gestiones con la Autoridad de Servicios Públicos (ASEP), ente que regula los medios de comunicación, para potenciar el trabajo colaborativo entre ambas instituciones en materia de vigilancia y control efectiva de la prohibición total de la publicidad, promoción y patrocinio de productos de tabaco. Durante estas gestiones se han identificado vacíos a la legislación que asigna responsabilidades a la ASEP, estos puntos han sido planteados a la Comisión de Salud de la Asamblea para que sean considerados en un nuevo proyecto de Ley que están trabajando.
En la actualidad, miembros de la Comisión Nacional de Control de Tabaco en Panamá realizan consultas en el internet y redes sociales en busca de incumplimientos de la prohibición total de la PPP de productos de tabaco que tiene el país, encontrando violaciones a la norma. La aplicación de sanciones en estos casos es compleja lo que dificulta el control efectivo de la PPPPT en este tipo de plataformas. Esta situación plantea la necesidad de redoblar esfuerzos para lograr una implementación plena de la prohibición total de la PPPPT.
Reiteramos que se ha identificado a la publicidad realizada por actores y actrices en televisión y cine como las de más difícil control, pues se cumple efectivamente con la prohibición total de la publicidad directa en estos medios. como se ha mencionada una situación similar se ha previsto para el tema de la publicidad en internet, plataforma móviles de mensajería y redes sociales; para abordar este asunto el MINSA ha remitido notas a Google indicando que exhibición de PPPPT a la que se tenga acceso en Panamá viola las normas nacionales; sobre el particular podemos mencionar que Google prohibió la PPPPT en sus plataformas digitales.
Sobre la PPPPT en los puntos de venta se continua con las inspecciones programadas, para atención de denuncias o de oficio a los establecimientos que venden productos de tabaco, particularmente se vigila y controla el cumplimiento de la prohibición de la exhibición de productos de tabaco, como cualquier otro tipo de publicidad, promoción o patrocinio que pueda esta contemplada en los puntos de venta. La violación a estas disposiciones es sancionada por el nivel local y/o regional pecuniariamente, pero también con el decomiso de la publicidad en cuestión.
Avances importantes se tienen con la eliminación de la publicidad del empaquetado y etiquetado de cigarrillos y otros productos de tabaco, este ámbito publicitario es controlado por la Comisión que emite criterios técnicos de aprobación u objeción de aquellas cajetillas, que por su diseño y mensajes violentan la prohibición total de la PPP de los productos de tabaco. Las recomendaciones son presentadas a la Dirección General de Salud Pública, quien emite resolución con aprobación o rechazo del empaquetado y etiquetado presentado por la IT. Este proceso se da en el marco de la aprobación de las advertencias y pictogramas, ya que la IT antes de emitir las cajetillas debe contar con una autorización del MINSA que verifica que los mensajes e imágenes sanitarias son los aprobados por el MINSA para un periodo determinado, cuando hay alteraciones de las imágenes o de los mensajes sanitarios o cuando hay publicidad de cualquier tipo en el empaquetado y etiquetado la solicitud de aprobación de la IT es rechazada y la IT debe hacer los ajustes de diseño indicados. La aplicación de estas medidas a ocasionados que la IT demande ante la Corte Suprema de Justicia, en más de una ocasión al MINSA. Así mismo, la IT ha interpuesto habeas data sobre procedimientos relacionados con este tema.

Como producto de los resultados de las opiniones expresadas por los entrevistados en la GYTS 2012 y en la GATS 2013, el MINSA en conjunto con el ICGES definió realizar el el estudio de evaluación de la PPPPT, en puntos de venta, medios de comunicación, internet, redes sociales, plataformas móviles de mensajería, videojuegos y empaquetado/etiquetado, 2015. Su Objetivo General buscaba evaluar el cumplimiento de la prohibición total de publicidad, promoción y patrocinio de productos de tabaco de conformidad con las disposiciones de los artículos 6 al 14 de la Ley 13 de 2008.
Entre sus objetivos específicos estaban los siguientes:
i. Describir las características generales de la publicidad, promoción y patrocinio a favor de productos de tabaco considerando su tipo (directa, indirecta, subliminal), su ámbito (nacional o transfronteriza), población objetivo por sexo, edad, tipo de medio de comunicación o espacio publicitario utilizado (empaquetado o etiquetado de producto de tabaco en los medios de entretenimiento e internet, plataformas móviles y video juegos).
ii. Estimar el grado de cumplimiento de la prohibición de la publicidad, promoción y patrocinio a favor de los productos de tabaco exhibidos en medios de entretenimiento tales como cine y televisión.
iii. Medir el grado de cumplimiento de la prohibición de publicidad, promoción y patrocinio de productos de tabaco en internet y plataformas móviles
iv. .Estimar el grado de cumplimiento de la prohibición de la publicidad, promoción y patrocinio a favor de los productos de tabaco exhibidos en los video juegos
v. Medir el grado de cumplimiento de la prohibición de publicidad, promoción y patrocinio de productos de tabaco en los puntos de ventas.
vi. Estimar el impacto del empaquetado de los productos de tabaco en los fumadores en cuanto a las características de su diseño elementos de ubicación, su contenido, su tamaño o dimensiones, su forma, el uso de terminología engañosa y las advertencias sanitarias , que se muestran en los empaquetados elaborados para la realización de este estudio o tomados de los productos que circulan en el mercado nacional.
Sus resultados y demás detalles metodológicos pueden ser consultados en http://www.gorgas.gob.pa/SitioWebTabaco/Publicaciones.htm
Adicionalmente, se ha realizado gestiones con la Autoridad de Servicios Públicos (ASEP), ente que regla los medios de comunicación para potenciar el trabajo colaborativo entre el MINSA y la ASEP para la vigilancia y control efectiva de la prohibición total de la publicidad, promoción y patrocinio de productos de tabaco.
La Comisión Nacional de Control de Tabaco en Panamá realiza consultas periódicas en el internet y redes sociales en busca de incumplimientos de la prohibición total de la PPP de productos de tabaco que tiene el país, encontrando, en algunas ocasiones violaciones a la norma, para aplicar las sanciones correspondientes. Sin embargo y a pesar de los esfuerzos aún no contamos con estrategias efectivas para su control.

La GYTS 2017 reflejó que el 26.5% (chicos: 27.2% -chicas: 25.9%) vieron publicidad o promoción de tabaco en los puntos de venta, en tanto que 55.6% indicaron haberla visto en televisión, videos o películas (chicos: 57.0% -chicas: 54.2%). Cerca de 1 de cada 10 estudiantes (11.3%) posee algún objeto con la marco o logo de una compañía tabacalera (chicos: 12.4% -chicas: 10.0%), superando esta condición en 2.4 puntos porcentuales los chicos a las chicas. Por otro lado, las tabacaleras han ofrecido producto de tabaco gratuito al 7.3% de los entrevistados (chicos: 9.1% -chicas: 5.3%) con 4% más acceso gratuito de productos de tabaco para los chicos que para las chicas.
Uno de cada dos entrevistados (49.5%) vieron mensajes antitabaco en algún medio de comunicación, sin diferencias entre chicos y chicas. Cerca de 4 de cada 10 (41.6%) los vieron en eventos deportivos o sociales (chicos: 44.1% -chicas: 38.5%) donde más chicos que chicas visualizaron estos mensajes en actividades deportivas o sociales.

Como producto de los resultados de las opiniones expresadas por los entrevistados en la GYTS 2012 y en la GATS 2013, el MINSA en conjunto con el ICGES definió realizar el ESTUDIO DE PUBLICIDAD EN TV NACIONAL Y CABLE, CINE, REDES SOCIALES, INTERNET Y EMPAQUETADO Y ETIQUETADO DE PRODUCTOS DE TABACO 2015. En estos momentos nos encontramos en la última etapa de recolección de datos en puntos de venta. Se trata de un estudio observacional cuyos objetivos son los siguientes:
General: Evaluar el cumplimiento de la prohibición total de publicidad, promoción y patrocinio de productos de tabaco de conformidad con las disposiciones de los artículos 6 al 14 de la Ley 13 de 2008.
Específicos
i. Describir las características generales de la publicidad, promoción y patrocinio a favor de productos de tabaco considerando su tipo (directa, indirecta, subliminal), su ámbito (nacional o transfronteriza), población objetivo por sexo, edad, tipo de medio de comunicación o espacio publicitario utilizado (empaquetado o etiquetado de producto de tabaco en los medios de entretenimiento e internet, plataformas móviles y video juegos).

Así mismo, en mayo de 2014 efectuamos en el marco de la cooperación regional un taller conjunto con OPS, ONG´s de AMRO para que fue financiado por Panamá, cuyas conclusiones fueron los siguientes:
1. América Latina tiene grandes avances en la última década, en relación al resto del mundo, por lo que es importante atraer recursos de diversas fuentes gubernamentales y no gubernamentales, para continuar generando evidencia científica.
2. Uruguay y Panamá son países líderes a la vanguardia impulsando iniciativas de control de tabaco.
3. En el ámbito de PPP en puntos de venta, se identificaron varias prioridades de investigación a saber:
a. Impactos de la prohibición de la PPP en puntos de venta en la salud pública,
b. Monitoreo y vigilancia e investigación legal
c. Otros aspectos incluidos entre las prioridades identificadas durante el trabajo grupal sobre Puntos de Venta.
4. Toda vez que el empaquetado es una herramienta de publicidad de la industria tabacalera y que existe evidencias sobre percepción del empaquetado y tabaquismo, es necesario continuar generando evidencias para temas aún pendientes tales como:
o impacto del tamaño de la advertencia (para sustentar iniciativas que aumentan el tamaño)
o frecuencia de rotación de contenidos (en muchos países de la región rotan cada año, pero puede ser más eficaz un periodo de rotación diferente pero con mayor número de advertencias).
o resumen de la literatura en español, sobre el empaquetado, para su uso en las iniciativas locales.
o impacto del uso del empaquetado para promocionar el uso de cigarrillos con cápsula de sabor en el filtro, esto debido a que la IT promueve cada más el uso de esta tecnología entre los fumadores. Es importante investigar sobre el impacto de esta estrategia en jóvenes.
o impacto de las diversas formas y diseños de la cajetilla, enfocándose al estudio del impacto para promover iniciativas que limitan las formas del empaquetado.
o profundizar la investigación sobre el marco legal de los derechos de marca y su relación con tratados de comercio, para sustentar las iniciativas de cambios en el empaquetado que promueven los países.
5. Enfocar la investigación científica en niños, adolescentes y otros grupos vulnerables ya que puede resultar de mayor impacto para la incidencia política y la toma de decisiones.
6. Integrar la investigación sobre el impacto económico de diferentes políticas públicas, para incidir en los tomadores de decisión. Ya se cuenta con algunos modelos de simulación que pueden ser de utilidad (como los de David Levy) donde se incluyen parámetros de diferentes prohibiciones de PPP y se proyectan los impactos en la salud y en los costos.
7. Avanzar en la investigación sobre internet como medio de PPP, así como en la promoción de los cigarrillos normales y su relación con la promoción y venta de cigarrillos electrónicos. Hopkins está finalizando un protocolo sobre el tema de internet que pondrá a disposición de los países. Este protocolo incluye tips sobre palabras claves que se pueden poner en los buscadores de cada país.
8. Realizar talleres de capacitación para la implementación de protocolos de investigación sobre PPP de productos de tabaco ya disponibles, a fin de contar con una masa crítica capacitada y orientada, así como promover y definir los mecanismos para su uso.
9. Desarrollar protocolos compartidos para ser adaptados al contexto local de cada país, que establezcan elementos claves que permitan la comparación entre países. Estos protocolos deberían considerar el ámbito de PPP y el ámbito del análisis de componentes del producto, entre otros.
10. Revisar los protocolos disponibles sobre análisis de componentes monitoreo del tabaco en medios de entretenimiento que facilitan el análisis del tabaco en películas que son exitosas en cada país, aplicando la base de datos existente para hacerlo.
11. Gestión de recursos financieros ante las agencias financiadoras de proyectos de investigación de carácter multi-céntricos que puedan aplicarse en diversos países que tienen la finalidad de aportar evidencia científica para impulsar los avances en la implementación de las políticas del control del tabaco en América Latina.
12. Promover en los países la asignación de recursos financieros para la investigación en control de tabaco procedentes, entre otras fuentes, de los impuestos y del pago de multas en el marco de la vigilancia del cumplimiento de las medidas de control de tabaco.
La Comisión Nacional para el Estudio del Tabaquismo en Panamá, periódicamente entra en el internet y redes sociales en busca de incumplimientos de la prohibición total de la PPP de productos de tabaco que tiene el país, encontrando, en algunas ocasiones violaciones a la norma, para aplicar las sanciones correspondientes. Sin embargo y a pesar de los esfuerzos aún no contamos con estrategias efectivas para su control.

Under RA 9211, TAPS is restricted in national media and outdoor advertisements however it does not preclude a comprehensive ban on TAPS. Provision on comprehensive TAPS ban was included in the proposed amendments of RA 9211, however, there is no development yet due to competing priorities on legislative agenda.
To address this issue, some local government units issued their own policies banning TAPS at their level. The latest country report shows that there are at least 167 LGUs with policies banning TAPS. Of this, 148 of which respective task force to monitor the TAPS ban. |
The Philippine Constitution does not preclude a comprehensive ban on TAPS. Under RA 9211, TAPS is restricted in national media and outdoor advertisements. In 2015, the Department of Health conducted a TAPS monitoring in 16 selected municipalities and cities. Results indicated good practices among selected LGUs implementing a comprehensive ban on TAPS. However, TAPS were also found to be rampant in points of sale and other localities such as variety stores and restaurants that advertise tobacco products through the use of posters or other collateral. Comprehensive TAPS ban was made a criteria in the selection of ROA winners. |

The Advertising Law ("Official Gazette of the RS", No 6/2016 and 52/2019 – other law) regulates the advertising of tobacco products. In addition to a comprehensive ban on advertising, it is also forbidden to distribute free tobacco products to consumers.
There is a ban of displaying or imitating smoking and sponsorship, with an exception for anti-smoking advertising. The electronic cigarettes are also subjected to tobacco product advertising rules, in the same way as cigarettes.
|
Law on Advertising („Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia“, No 6 /16) has been in force since May 6, 2016. This Law prohibits all forms of tobacco and tobacco product advertising, including product placement and all these have been applied to the electronic cigarettes, parts to the electronic cigarettes and other products that replace cigarettes or other tobacco products as well. |
Since the last report, Serbia adopted in the Parliament two laws that are also relevant to the advertising of tobacco products:
1) Law on Electronic Media („Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia“, No 83/14 and 6/16) which bans product placement. Product placement under this Law will be in effect until May 6, 2016 when the implementation of new Law on Advertising will start; and
2) New Law on Advertising („Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia“, No 6 /16) which was adopted in the Parliament in February 2016 will be implemented starting May 6, 2016. This new Law on Advertising introduces a new article that bans advertising of electronic cigarettes, fluids and parts of electronic cigarettes that represent or replace cigarettes in the same way as for other tobacco products. Two articles (No. 28 and 29) are related to product placement. |

Tobacco advertising is partially banned in accordance with the Tobacco Act in South Africa and regulations to restrict displays at point of sale were improved and are to be gazetted in April 2014.

Sweden has passed a new law on tobacco and similar Products (2018:2088). In dealing with this, the Riksdag decided not to adopt the proposals for amended provisions on the marketing of tobacco products. The committee argued that the Government should return to Parliament with legislative proposals on the marketing of tobacco products on the Internet.
An investigation has now been set up where the investigator will analyze the Swedish rules on marketing and sponsorship of tobacco, e-cigarettes and refill containers.
